Glad to hear!
Thanks for your review. It really helped me a lot because It’s the opinion of someone that really use this reel. I hope to find this Metanium DC 70 xg to purchase in the US when I visit this country in the next year. Hugs from Brazil.

Thank you for watching! I appreciate it. Let me know how you like it after you pick one up!
I love that you said you can use a wide range of weights I’m in the market and you helped narrow down my decision. Do you recommend this for a beginner but a fast learner?
I have 2 of the JDM models and the fish just fine, its definitely user error they are the most refined and best casting reels I have ever used.

Glad to hear! I’ve heard mixed reviews but more positives than negatives which is a good sign! Thanks for sharing
So if I get a Jdm metanium I have no chance of it getting fixed if there is a problem?
I have a jdm model, it’s been fine so far. It needs a season to really judge it. My curado bfs made it three seasons and now it’s not casting right. So I’ll have to open it up and take a look. So far the only shimano or Daiwa I’ve had something go wrong with are curado’s. I have a curado K that did the same thing. It just needed a cleaning.

@@ChewyThaoFishing Yeah I really like the reel. It’s sitting on a 6’10” M poison adrena and it was made for it. I build my own rods but that combo is slick.
You can buy 2 SLX DC XT baitcaster for the price. It has has the same spool MGL 3 70 size spool.

Two very different reels. Its like comparing a Toyota Camry to a Lexus IS 500. Yes, they both get you to point A and point B but its HOW you get there that is the difference. My advice - purchase and use what you can afford.

@@ChewyThaoFishing do you know if the MGL 3 spool is actually lighter for the 2024 Metanium DC?
I have a Stella and it came with a pouch - really miss it for my Metanium DC 71 HG. No issues with casting (European batch).
Oh crap! I just bought the JDM model! Haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but I’ll definitely leave a comment here if it does have any issues.

New idc5 or 4x8 dc? Which one u think is better. Maybe do a top 3 dc comparison

Hard to decide. Both are very great and my answer would depend on what you are using it for. Imo, I think that the new DC system is better than the old one. Can’t wait to see the new dc system in a 150 sized reel.
i have the jdm version and was experiencing the casting problems at first but after I awhile it started casting waaaaay better I also had to take some line off the spool cause of snags so i dont know if thats what helped it.

Same here! I was really underwhelmed with it but after a couple of trips it is casting way better.

Glad to hear! Not sure WHY that would even happen but i'm glad you are not having that issue anymore.
The jdm version is the exact same model as the one offered in the U.S. it was the same for the previous model met15 dc. I think people are fishing it with too light of gear due to the 70 size spool as I can outcast a 110 with an alderbaran compared to the met dc.

im pretty sure the only difference is the the handle is shorter on the JDM version. but it still feels amazing.
Lmao, you could tell he loves the mechanical sounds
JDM or USDM doesn't makes any different; truthfully it just user error; but i will said this; this reel is not made for beginner friendly. because this spool is much faster super up inertia compares to like a SLX DC or Curado DC

@@tjbeastgamer1679 Sure ... whatever you say. so what's the difference then; the US version have more adjustment? they all have the same DC unit nothing special; beside the price different. beside some guy said so ... really? what about you then can you tell the different 😂
Just got the JDM model and beat it up for past 3 days. no issues, i can bomb lures and no backlashes. Most likely user error.

i had ZERO issues with my jdm Met DC 70 and liked it...performed very well. fortunately, i was able to sell it for another steez 24. speaking of which, you'll be glad to hear the steez 24 comes with a nice reel cover.

How do you know if it is a US model or a JDM model?

It’s pretty obvious, US stores carry the US models and if you go to a JDM online store then they will be selling the JDM model
haha. i know that spot. lots of giants there but hard to catch
The JDM models are a couple hundred bucks cheaper than tackle warehouse has them for 500 plus tax I never had a JDM reel give me an issue and to pay 150 to 200 more For me, I will stick with the JDM versions
